  • Pack light by mix & match your outfits in a neutral color scheme

  • use packing cubes to organize

  • make sure your bag is under 18 pounds to avoid fees when leaving the United States

  • Check the weather before you leave so you pack appropriately

  • Pack a day bag to hold your belongings during the day. I found I never used a purse

  • Make copies of your passports and credit cards

  • Check with your cell phone service so you are not charged extra fees

  • Reusable water bottle

  • Journal to keep notes about each location

  • Google translate will be your friend. We used ours for help with reading menus

  • Take a picture of your daily schedule and then you know that all the photos after that go with that day. This makes it easy for creating a scrapbook later on.  I used Shutterfly and if your a Costco member you get a huge discount.

  • Do some research on the area with Rick Steve's shows or foods of the region videos on You tube.   We found some great places to try.

  • Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. You will not regret it!
